<h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h1>What is Hush?</h1>
|
|
Hush is Free Software (like Open Source, but better),
|
|
which allows you to Speak And Transact Freely. That is
|
|
the core mission of the software and global community
|
|
of cypherpunks that make the Hush software and peer-to-peer
|
|
network possible.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Where can I get Hush?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The only official place to get Hush source code and binaries
|
|
is <a href="https://git.hush.is/">git.hush.is</a>, which is the
|
|
Hush Gitea instance, which replaces Github.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1>What Operating Systems Does Hush Work On?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Glad you asked! We would like to support as many as
|
|
we can, but currently our Officially Supported OS's are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linux</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or later</li>
|
|
<li>Debian</li>
|
|
<li>Arch</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>MacOS X 10</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Apple Silicon may not be supported! Untested.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<li>Windows</li>
|
|
<li>Android 4.4 or later</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
As for details, Hush full nodes require 64bit Windows, while Hush lite
|
|
nodes can be run on 32bit Windows. We support IoT devices such as ARMv8
|
|
(Raspberry Pi-like devices) and currently are working on FreeBSD/OpenBSD
|
|
support. If you are interested in that, please contact us.
|
|
|
|
<h1>How can I install Hush?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
First you must decide if you will compile Hush yourself, or use
|
|
binaries. Most will use binaries, but if you are able, you should
|
|
compile, since it means you don't need to trust all your funds with a
|
|
binary created by a 3rd party, which could be backdoored.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Next, if you think you can copy+paste a few commands on the
|
|
command-line of Linux, you are highly encouraged to try
|
|
to compile yourself! It's a fun game, and the prize is
|
|
a bigger slice of financial freedom.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1>How do I choose the right binary?</h1>
|
|
|
|
Binaries for Linux often end in .gz or .bz . Binaries
|
|
for Mac usually end in .dmg and binaries for windows
|
|
usually end in .zip. This is an easy way to make sure
|
|
you have the right binary.

|
|
<h1>How can I download SilentDragonAndroid (SDA) ?</h1>
|
|
You can download this here, <a href="https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonAndroid">SDA</a>, but note that it is a companion application to a desktop wallet.
|
|
|
|
<h1>How Do I Stop hushd?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are various ways to stop hushd safely. The best and easiest method is
|
|
<b>hush-cli stop</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <b>kill</b> or <b>killall</b> command should not be used, it can corrupt your wallet.dat!
|
|
The funds won't be completely lost, but they will be very hard to recover and require using
|
|
advanced command-line tools to fix, which is as good as lost for many people. The <b>kill</b>
|
|
command may have worked for you in the past, but it's a dangerous risk. If you are unlucky and
|
|
the wallet.dat is being updated when you type the command, it can cause corruption. So it may
|
|
have worked for you in the past, possibly many times, but it's still very risky.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In some rare cases it's possible that <b>hush-cli stop</b> will not work, because the Hush RPC
|
|
interface is not responding. Hush has a special disk-based solution for this case. Run the following
|
|
command on Linux: <b>touch ~/.hush/plz_stop</b> . This will create an empty file and hushd will
|
|
notice it withing 120 seconds and stop correctly without risking a corrupt wallet.dat . On other
|
|
Operating Systems, find the directory with your wallet.dat file and create a file called <b>plz_stop</b>
|
|
in the same directory. The contents of the file do not matter.
|
|
</p>

|
<h1>Why is my node out of sync?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Nodes can be out of sync for seemingly infinite reasons. We suggest reporting the details of
|
|
your system, such as Operating System version and hushd version to our <a href="https://hush.is/tg_support">Telegram Support</a>.
|
|
Make sure to include details such as if you are using hushd directly or SilentDragon and any relevant version numbers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Why is my balance different than the explorer?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This can happen for a few reasons. Your node may be out
|
|
of sync, and still finding new blocks which contain payments
|
|
to your address. You may not have imported all the private
|
|
keys you thought you did. Use the validation function to
|
|
check if an address is in your current wallet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your wallet is rescanning, it will show the balance as
|
|
of the block height it is processing. You will see the balance "jump" higher when it finds a new transaction which pays
|
|
one of your addresses. Your full balance will be shown when
|
|
you have processed the latest block and regain "syncedness".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1>What does a Hush address look like?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We have two main types of addresses, transparent and shielded. Transparent addresses start with <bold>R</bold> and shielded addresses start with <bold>zs1</bold>.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Originally HUSH addresses looked the same as Zcash addresses, so either t1... or z.. . When Hush changed our upstream
|
|
from ZEC to KMD, that changed to be R... and zs1..., which
|
|
is the prefix for Sapling Shielded Addresses.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your address starts with zc instead of zs1, it is a Sprout address and it's not valid on the current HUSH mainnet.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the above reasons, KMD, VRSC and SAFE addresses are all
|
|
compatible, with the exact same public key generating the same exact
|
|
address on KMD, VRSC, SAFE and HUSH and all the side chains (smart
|
|
chains) of these respective platforms. If you own a taddr or zaddr on
|
|
any one of these blockchains, you own the exact same address on all the
|
|
blockchains.
|
|
</p>

<h1>Advanced Hush Questions</h1>
|
|
|
|
If you don't use the CLI, you can ignore this entire area.

|
|
<h2>How can I run a SilentDragonLite backend ?</h2>
|
|
You will need a VPS with at least 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM
|
|
to compile software.

|

|
|
|
|
<h2>How can I run a SilentDragonWormhole ?</h2>
|
|
|
|
You will need a VPS that can run a simple Java program, which is very
|
|
light on resources. It requires very little RAM or hard drive space.
